	   <p>"Written at Worcester."  The table of contents, ff. 5-8, and articles 1-30 are "in a type
	   of script which is found in other Worcester manuscripts" (Ker, p. 417).
	   </p>
	   <p>
	   Punctuation "by means of high point," according to Ker, who notes that hypens are
	   frequent, placed at height of minums, at both beginning and end of line (Ker,
	   p. 417).
	   </p>
	   <p>There are additions in nine hands, Ker says, from the second half of the eleventh
	   century to the end of the eleventh century. There are "nearly contemporary alterations by several
	   hands and later glosses," he writes (p. 412), including those of the Tremulous Hand. Matthew
	   Parker's hand is "perhaps" the hand of notes on f. 101; John Joscelyn's notes on ff. 86v and
	   elsewhere refer to MS Y, Laud Misc. 482. The main hand is Hand 1; the "nearly contemporary
	   alterations" are marked Hand 2. Notes and glosses by the Tremulous Hand are Hand 3; Joscelyn's
	   notes are Hand 4.
	   </p>
	   <p>
	   Color: red or green initials; titles in red rustic capitals or uncials, or in the script of the
	   text (Ker, p. 417).
